LJC Team Day event
A Chess competition for schools and clubs in the Lothian and Borders region. Compete in the “P5 and U” section or the P6/7 Section for Primary Schools. Secondary schools have their own section.
Teams are ideally 4 players, but teams of 5 or 6 are ok too. Less than 3 players? Enter as individuals and we will do our best to put you in a team.
Teams in each section are paired using the Swiss system which matches teams in each round based on the points already scored. This has the advantage of allowing teams to float up and down the draw until they find their own level and helps avoids significant mismatches between the stonger and weaker teams.
New teams are most welcome as this is a great way for players to dip their toes into competion chess. Many may feel that they will not be good enough but this is never true as most teams will include new and inxperienced players
Please note that Team Day events are open for Schools in the Lothian and Borders region only.
